Inola Rancher Raises Environmental Concerns Over Proposed Aluminum Smelter
An Inola, Oklahoma rancher, Carl Day, is raising concerns about a proposed $4 billion aluminum smelter project in the area. Day, whose family has been in the cattle business for over a century, traveled to Kentucky to collect environmental samples near an existing smelter. The samples revealed high fluoride levels in grass, which could pose a risk to cattle. Day's findings have prompted calls for further investigation and legislative scrutiny, as the project could impact local agriculture and property rights.
